You do realize the Who were "punk" before any punk band you like were ever born right?

I can't wait to see it in "Top 100 Doo Wop hits"

Boston is more or less the quintessential definition of "hard rock." MTaF is not the best example, but if they didn't use it, people would bitch about their song selection. Though the ballad is a staple of almost every subgenre to have come since, including many metal genres, so maybe "Amanda" would have worked.

but they can play instruments!!

I was going to just idly mock Vas, but good God, between some of his reasons and his replacements...I want to stab him with a spork many times.

Also, LOL @ Straightedge. Considering my Grandfather used the term to almost the exact same definition (minus loving shitty bands and being complete hypocrites), it's kind of hard for me to not mock people who say stuff about the song....

Come on now, we all know that "Straightedge" is catchier than "Faggot Assed Hypocrites." It's all in the marketing, boss. In retrospect, I should have just went with "I Don't Wanna Hear it."

In all honesty, I just fucking Hate the Who. And I hate the fact that some record company was shitty enough to manufacture a band that was a ripoff of this band, all the way down to their name (The Guess Who). It's a straight-up anti-logical thing. Kind of like Blender's blind hatred of the Doors. Only difference being, I don't have Blender's readership and I am not trying to pass myself off as some kind of musical authority.

And yes, I do have a soft-spot for early Hardcore. It goes to shit after the breakup of Black Flag, et al, IMO.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, stab away, dude. Stab away.

Yes it is, because The Who and the Guess Who are pretty much nothing alike.

So on top of thinking that "Hardcore" is a valid replacement for bands that were far superior, you're also an idiot who's painting broad strokes over bands you evidently know nothing about.

I once was listening to the radio in a car on a trip down to MA, and the DJ was bitching about all these bands that started using "God" as part of their name after Godsmack made it big. He then listed off four bands, three of which predated Godsmack, two of which predated them by at least five years.

Also, the Who>>>>>>>>>>>>Every band you mentioned. They're not even my favorite act, they're just that much better than your tripe.
